Where all the bird news comes to roost!
After four days of hammering you with bad news, here are some good news graphics from the recently released bird population study that showed a decline of 2.9 billion birds, or 29 percent, in North American over the last 50 years.

This is a down period between my 50/50/50 trips which will not resume until I head off to some of the prairie states in September. While not as goal oriented as in previous years, I have been filling in some Washington species not yet seen in 2019 and also chasing some special birds hoping to […]

Sherri Moorer’s latest Feathered Frenzy article provides timely advice on what to do if you suspect your feathered companion is suffering from allergies. Yes, birds do get allergies, just like us!
After taking Zack to the vet and finding out he was suffering with allergies, Sherri shares with readers the vet’s advice on reducing Zack’s exposure to potential allergens.
Sherri shares some sound tips for ensuring our companion birds live in healthy environments where the air is as clean and free of air pollutants as possible.

In the September edition of Beneath The Cage Grate, Morty enlists Alexa and Roomba in an effort to do something nice for mum as she continues on her recovery journey from recent surgery. 
The plan, whilst well thought out and brilliant, hits a few (predictable?) snags, with Morty left to once again ponder his relationship with technology… and tomatoes.
Don’t miss Morty’s latest comedic take on life with Alexa and sidekick Roomba. Head on over to Morty’s page now for some Sunday afternoon chuckles!
As the Southern Hemisphere approaches spring, the north is getting into autumn. This marks an important time for bird migration. Migration is the regular seasonal movement, often north and south, undertaken by many species of birds.

If I decide to go for an early morning walk at the local wetlands when it’s high tide, I often find that I am the first person there for the day. How do I know? By the seagull parade! Along the boardwalk are a few bridges over sections of the Tamar River, and there are […]

ACHOO! Oh dear, hopefully I haven’t gotten some of you rubbing your nose… AND beak. In the September issue of Feathered Frenzy, Sherri Moorer dispels the myth that birds don’t develop allergies.
Allergies are not unique to humans. Sherri describes some important ways parronts can ensure that their homes are clean and safe for both themselves (for allergies and asthma) and their companion birds with sensitive beaks!
September’s Feathered Frenzy will be out in a couple of weeks, but in the interim why not catch up on past articles! Happy reading!
